Insights
iO3's V.Sight AI surveillance deployment across Singfar's fleet demonstrates growing commercial adoption of their maritime tech solutions.
This partnership between iO3 and Singfar Group represents a significant commercial deployment for iO3's V.Sight AI video analytics system in the maritime sector. The phased implementation began in Q2 2024, with plans to equip Singfar's entire bunker vessel fleet over time. This deployment directly demonstrates market validation for iO3's maritime technology solutions.
The V.Sight system leverages AI-driven video analytics to provide real-time insights, set monitoring thresholds, and generate alerts for potential safety or operational risks. This technology addresses critical pain points in the maritime industry, where incidents can have substantial financial and environmental consequences.
From a business perspective, this implementation is particularly notable as it targets the bunker sector – a specialized segment of maritime operations focused on fuel supply vessels. This sector faces intense operational challenges and regulatory scrutiny, making it an excellent proving ground for iO3's technology.
The partnership highlights iO3's strategic focus on delivering practical value through digitalization rather than implementing technology for its own sake. The system's ability to enhance oversight, strengthen accountability, and support data-driven decision-making addresses tangible operational needs in vessel management.
While the press release doesn't disclose financial terms, this deployment represents a commercial expansion for iO3 and demonstrates the company's ability to secure implementations with established industry players like Singfar Group. The long-term value will depend on the system's performance, potential for expanded deployments, and whether it leads to additional customer acquisitions in the maritime sector.
Pioneering Technology Adoption to Drive Efficiency and Safety in the Bunker Sector
SINGAPORE, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iOThree Limited ("iO3" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: IOTR), a pioneering provider of digital solutions for the maritime industry, is proud to announce the deployment of its V.Sight Artificial Intelligence (AI) video analytics camera surveillance system across the bunker vessel fleet of Singfar Group, a leading name in Singapore’s shipping and bunker vessel operations. This milestone marks a significant step in supporting Singfar Group’s digitalisation journey—enhancing real-time situational awareness, advancing safety innovation, and automating workflows to enable smarter fleet management and fuel optimisation across its maritime operations.
The phased implementation of iO3’s V.Sight AI system began in the second quarter of 2024, with plans to fully equip Singfar’s entire fleet in due course. Tailored to meet the unique needs of ship operations, V.Sight leverages advanced AI-driven video analytics to provide real-time insights that bolster safety and improve operational efficiency. The system’s ability to set AI-monitored thresholds also generates alerts and notifications, empowering Singfar to take proactive action on potential safety or operational risks. This initiative reflects Singfar’s forward-thinking approach to modernizing vessel operations and embracing the digital transformation sweeping across the maritime sector.
Joanna Soh, Chief Commercial Officer at iO3, shared, “Digital adoption in maritime must deliver measurable value and address real operational challenges. Our collaboration with Singfar Group reflects this principle—using AI-powered video analytics not as a novelty, but as a practical tool to enhance oversight, strengthen accountability, and support smarter decision-making.”
In an industry where incidents can carry significant financial and environmental repercussions, Singfar’s decision reflects its proactive stance on risk management. The V.Sight system goes beyond traditional monitoring by using AI to track critical vessel functions, offering early warnings and mitigating the risk of costly or hazardous incidents. Additionally, its robust analytics facilitate compliance with emerging regulations, reinforcing Singfar’s role as an industry leader in responsible, innovative practices.
“At Singfar, we recognize technology as a catalyst for transformation – driving us to lead the industry forward while exceeding evolving regulatory and operational expectations,” said Jeffrey Kong, Head of Ship Management at Singfar Group. “Integrating iO3’s AI-powered system allows us to strengthen our fleet’s efficiency, elevate safety standards, and redefining operational excellence within the bunker industry.”
Through this deployment, iO3 not only helps Singfar Group strengthen its leadership in technological adoption within the bunker industry but also accelerates its own mission to deliver scalable, efficient, and tailored digital solutions for the maritime sector. This collaboration underscores the growing importance of innovation, adaptability, and digital transformation in shaping the future of global maritime operations.
